The price of deflation and inflation protection

Price of floor and caps (year-on-year) on euro area HICP inflation – 5Y maturity
Sources: Bloomberg. Latest observation: 03 April 13
Note: The market for inflation-linked options is relatively illiquid and often heavily influenced by specific demand and supply patterns. Developments
should therefore be interpreted with caution. The underlying instruments are for the inflation protection: year-on-year cap of 4% with 5 year maturity;
for deflation protection: year-on-year floor of 0% with 5 year maturity.

The ECB monetary policy
10
Overview of the ECB’s monetary policy in the crisis
In exceptional circumstances, the ECB took exceptional monetary
policy measures, with a separation between:
1. Standard measures: Reduction in all key ECB interest rates
2. Non-standard measures: to support the effective
transmission of interest rate decisions to the wider euro area
economy, in a context of dysfunctions in the financial market
Price stability objective has retained primacy in all these measures
11
ECB’s interest rate decisions and implementation:

interest rates evolve in relation to the key ECB interest rates

Overview of non-standard monetary policy actions
I. Measures to improve bank funding and liquidity conditions
• Fixed-rate full allotment mode in refinancing operations (since October 2008)
• Lengthening the maturity of the refinancing operations (1, 3, 6, 12 and 36 months)
• Extending the list of eligible collateral
• Liquidity provision directly in foreign currencies (USD and CHF)
• Reducing reserve requirements (from 2% to 1%)
II. Measures to provide depth and liquidity in malfunctioning markets
A. Covered bond markets
• Covered Bond Purchase Programmes (July 2009 - July 2010; Nov. 2011-Oct. 2012)
B. Sovereign bond markets
• Securities Markets Programme (May 2010 to 6 September 2012)
• Outright Monetary Transactions (modalities announced on 6 September 2012)

Notes: The indicator is computed using lending rates on loans with a maturity of up to one
year and interest rates on overdrafts, aggregated on the basis of amounts outstanding. The
weight applied to lending rates on loans with a maturity of up to one year accounts for the
share of long-term loans issued at a floating rate.

Risk control measures
18
Risks in Eurosystem credit operations
• The risk management framework enables the central banks to
provide support to the economy by optimising the
relationship between policy efficiency and risk taking
• Risks are constantly monitored and assessed against available
financial buffers at the Eurosystem level

20
Non-standard monetary policy measures
(credit operations)
• Provision of unlimited liquidity at various maturities
• Measures to increase collateral availability
Key principles of the risk control framework
– Risk protection
– Consistency
– Simplicity and transparency
– Risk equivalence
(residual risk of assets - after valuation and haircuts - same
for all collateral types)
21
Changes to the risk control framework following
non-standard measures
The Eurosystem reviewed its risk control measures together with decisions to
preserve collateral availability for counterparties during 2012:
•
when euro area NCBs have been allowed on 9 February to accept as collateral
additional performing credit claims;
•
when reducing the rating threshold and amending the eligibility requirements for
certain ABSs on 29 June;
•
on 6 September when the marketable debt instruments denominated in currencies
other than the euro (USD, GBP, JPY) issued and held in the EA became eligible;
•
on 19 December when eligibility of debt instruments issued or guaranteed by the
Hellenic Republic was reinstated (the application of the minimum credit rating
threshold was suspended on 6 September in the case of assets issued or
guaranteed by OMT or EU/IMF programme-complying countries);

Risk mitigation framework for Eurosystem
credit operations (1)
• Counterparties must be financially sound;
• According to Article 18.1 of the Statute of the ESCB, all
credit shall be based on adequate collateral;
• Collateral alone cannot eliminate or even sufficiently mitigate
financial risks; there are two possibilities of loss, once a
counterparty defaults:
– A “double default event”: Very small probability as long as:
(a) collateral satisfies high credit standards; and
(b) close financial links between counterparty and collateral issuer
are prohibited;
– Losses incurred in realising collateral in illiquid market conditions:
Use correct valuation and risk control measures to keep probability
of such losses small.
24
Risk mitigation framework for Eurosystem
credit operations (2)
To guarantee that the quality and quantity of collateral provide adequate protection
to the Eurosystem, three risk mitigation tools are required:

The Single Supervisory Mechanism
26
The Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM)
Establishment of the SSM
• Need to speed up strengthening of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU)
because of:
• Sovereign debt crisis
• Contagion in the banking sector
• Milestones of the process in 2012 and in 2013
• 29 June: Euro area Summit – Request to set up a single supervisory
mechanism (SSM)
• 12 September: European Commission proposal for a Council
Regulation
• 18 October: European Council conclusions on completing EMU
• 13 December: European Council agreement on SSM
• 19 March 2013: Provisional agreement on SSM between European
Council and European Parliament
27
The Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM)
Two main advantages and goals of establishing the SSM
• Will address the so-called “financial trilemma”
• Impossibility of achieving financial stability, financial integration and
maintaining national financial policies in a globalised financial market
• Together with a single resolution mechanism, will help to break the
negative feedback loops between sovereigns and banks
• Increasing debt levels of sovereigns that provided financial support to
struggling banks
• Losses for banks from exposures to sovereigns under stress
• Break the correlation between the cost of funding of euro area banks
and that of their respective sovereigns
• Need for a common resolution mechanism
28
The Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM)
Main features of the SSM
• Single system of supervision
• The ECB will take all decisions regarding the banks, banking groups and
respective components categorised as “significant” (around 150 banks in
the euro area countries)
• Banks with more than €30 billion in total assets
• Banks representing more than 20% of domestic GDP (unless <€5
billion in assets)
• 3 most significant banks in each country (unless justified by particular
circumstances)
• Banks receiving direct assistance from the EFSF/ESM
• The ECB can decide to exercise direct supervision of other banks
29
The Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM)
Main features of the SSM (cont.)
• The national supervisors will take the decisions regarding “non-significant”
banks subject to regulations, guidelines or general instructions
• Close cooperation with non-euro area Member States
• The ECB can conduct supervision in a non-euro area EU Member
State, following a request for close cooperation
• Transition
• The SSM will start supervision one year after the entry into force of
the regulation
• ECB may choose to postpone the start if it deems that it is not ready
30
The Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM)
ECB’s guiding principles for establishing the SSM
• Comprehensiveness and strong institutional framework
• Independence
• Clear separation of monetary policy and supervisory responsibilities
• Decentralisation
• Consistency with the single market
• Accountability
31
The Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM)
Establishment of a banking union
• “Towards a genuine Economic and Monetary Union”
Final Report by the President of the European Council (December 2012)
• Core elements of a banking union:
• A Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) consisting of the ECB and national
supervisors
• A single bank resolution mechanism, including an independent resolution
authority and a European resolution fund
• More harmonised and sufficiently robust deposit-guarantee mechanisms in
the EU
